Lightbulb For first time No$gba users

No$gba supports following

I Gba gamesalmost every game there is<but i recommend use of Visual boy advance just because it has more functions like volume, resize,etc and an easy interface>

II Nds games
Nearly all games are supported with minor bugs. Check whether your game works here (Compatibility thread). In game(not via emulator, through the game) save working for all games i know of.<Trouble here is mostly due corrupt game or improper use of no$gba>

In game save can be done after opening a game and menu->save->yes(already a save type->yes)
How to open a game.... simply drag and drop it on no$gba or browse the file yourself.

Save state working however load state not working, it crashes the emulator.
<Save state indicates File(menu of emulator)->load and write snapshot(F7 and F8) useless for nds games. But these work for gba.>

Auto Gba cartridge backup media and nds cartridge backup media<i.e Inexperienced people need not play with this option... Many games have different backup media, so one was required to know what it was for his/her game----now not required>

Volume adjust not available but simple solution-adjust volume of your computer<no u cannot enjoy music from pc while u play no$gba....use your ipod or cell and headphones >

Cheats work with F2 or via emulator menus. To get cheats, please utilize the sources of the internet.
You first have to find the codes that is the same region as your game, then press F2 after loading the game. If there is a master code, enter it in before entering any other code(s). Then enter the codes you want and double click the code to get a check mark next to the code. <by imlost>

Wifi at present not working.(if you dont know whats wifi... then find out what it is atleast and realise that it is not supported at the moment)

Closing the "lid" of DS Games like Zelda Phantom Hourglass requires closing of lid of ds for going on in the game.... possible by minimize the emulator(you know the _ button on the top right, next to X) and restore(maximize it) to open the lid.

Bugs Yikes! Your game isnt working properly even though you are sure it is not corrupt. Not to panic, the emulator is being worked on and it is improving. Try to work around a minor bug, a major bug (your game cannot proceed) is inevitable and you have to wait (i dont know how long) till the new version is out(beware your bug may not be fixed in this one! sorry). No$gba Bug thread keeps track of most bugs, so check it.

Version 2.6 is out for free No$gba download(no$gba but some$nds)<2.6a was available till the donations stopped for unknown reasons>
donation of 2.5$ is all u need(ed) for a world class emulator.

Replies accepted
->If further doubts exist
->If u want me to add something to this.
Till then happy emulation

Rules
1. Talking about downloading roms is not allowed.
2. We don't tell location of Roms, bios or firmware. For those you must search the net and no need to share your work with us!
3. And suggestions need not be put up here for we wont implement them... You know the man in charge for that so go to no$gba site and request him!

Just ask your doubt and pray it is answered by me or other Staff members!
